Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to devices and methods for mixing components, such as powder and liquid components. More particularly, it relates to a mixing device, and related methods of use, facilitating convenient hand-mixing of components by a user and subsequent dispensing, for example in the preparation of a gelatinous, resorbable medical substance having hemostatic properties.
  • the substance to be applied is formed by a combination of two or more components, with the recommended protocol necessitating that some or all of the components not be combined with one another (e.g., mixed) until just prior to applying to the patient.
  • the substance is provided to the caregiver in a partially complete form.
  • One or more of the components may require special handling prior to mixing, the substance resulting from the combination may relatively quickly change states following mixing, etc.
  • bone or dental cement is commonly used to secure a prosthetic device to a bone of a patient, and is comprised of a powder polymer and a liquid monomer that polymerizes about the polymer powder; because the resultant bone cement will hardened shortly after mixing, the components are typically combined or mixed shortly before the surgical procedure.
  • the caregiver is required to perform the component mixing. While a mechanical mixing device may be appropriate, such devices are typically not available at a caregiver's site and/or require time and effort to properly operate. Further, it may be difficult to dispense the prepared substance from the device.
  • the pouch includes a pouch body and a port body.
  • the pouch body includes opposing, first and second major flexible walls sealed to one another along respective peripheries thereof to define an internal chamber and a pouch perimeter.
  • the pouch body has a C-like shape.
  • the port body projects from the first wall and is fluidly open to the internal chamber.
  • the pouch perimeter defines opposing, first and second end edges and opposing, first and second side edges, with the end edges being substantially linear, and the side edges being curved.
  • the port body extends from the first wall in a perpendicular fashion relative to a common plane defined by the pouch perimeter such that when the second wall is placed on a flat surface, the port body extends perpendicular relative to the flat surface.
  • the pouch is provided to a user with a powder component pre-loaded into the internal chamber.
  • the method includes providing a pouch including a pouch body and a port body as described above. At least two materials are placed into the internal chamber. The materials are mixed within the internal chamber by repeatedly pressing the side walls toward one another by a user's fingers to create a mixed composition. Finally, the composition is dispensed from the internal chamber via the port body.
  • the method entails forming the pouch body to include an open end, dispensing a powder component into the internal chamber via the open end, and sealing the open end to contain the powder component.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded, perspective view of a pouch in accordance with principles of the present disclosure
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of the pouch of FIG. 1 upon final assembly
  • FIG. 3 is a top view of a pouch body portion of the pouch of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a top view of the pouch of FIG. 1 during manufacture in accordance with some embodiments.
  • FIGS. 5A-5D illustrate use of the pouch of FIG. 1 in mixing and dispensing a composition.
  • FIG. 1 A pouch 10 in accordance with principles of the present disclosure for mixing and dispensing a composition is shown in FIG. 1.
  • the pouch 10 includes a pouch body 12, a port assembly 14, and a cap 16. Details on the various components are provided below.
  • the pouch body 12 has a C-like shape, and defines an internal chamber 18.
  • the port assembly 14 projects from the pouch body 12, and is fluidly connected to the internal chamber 18.
  • the cap 16 is removably assembled to the port assembly 14 to facilitate selective access to the internal chamber 18. With this configuration, two or more components (not shown) can be mixed within the internal chamber 18 via manipulation of the pouch body 12, with the resultant composition (not shown) being dispensed from the internal chamber 18 via the port assembly 14.
  • the pouch body 12 is defined, in some embodiments, by first and second major walls 30, 32 as best shown in FIG. 2.
  • the walls 30, 32 are formed of a thin, flexible material (e.g., film) selected to be compatible with the components to be mixed within the pouch 10.
  • the walls 30, 32 are a clear polyurethane film having a thickness of 0.01 inch and a hardness of 80-85 Shore A.
  • the walls 30, 32 can each be formed by a single film sheet, or one or both of the walls 30, 32 can be composed of a multi-layered, laminated film.
  • the walls 30, 32 are characterized as being flexible, readily deflecting in response to forces applied thereto by the fingers/thumb of a typical human adult.
  • a translucent or transparent material e.g., a translucent film
  • a user is afforded the ability to see through the wall(s) 30, 32 and can thus observe contents of the internal chamber 18.
  • a user is able to visually confirm whether adequate mixing is occurring (e.g., can see undesirable agglomerations or clumps of material) and take appropriate steps to rectify.
  • the walls 30, 32 are, in some embodiments, identical in terms of size and shape. With this in mind, the top view of FIG. 3 illustrates the first major wall 30, it being understood that the second major wall 32 (hidden in FIG. 3, but shown in FIG. 2) has a size and shape commensurate with the first major wall 30.
  • the walls 30, 32 are sealed to one another along their common peripheries by way of an edge seal 34.
  • the edge seal 34 can be formed in a variety of manners, such as via welding (e.g., ultrasonic weld), heat seal, adhesive bonding, etc.
  • the walls 30, 32 combine to define the pouch body 12, including the internal chamber 18 (referenced generally in FIG. 3) and a pouch perimeter 36.
  • the pouch perimeter 36 defines the pouch body 12 to have the C-like shape as described above (relative to a top or bottom view of the pouch body 12 as shown).
  • the pouch perimeter 36 generally includes opposing, first and second side edges 40, 42, and opposing, first and second end edges 44, 46.
  • the side edges 40, 42 extend between the end edges 44, 46 in a curved fashion.
  • an arc length of the first side edge 40 is greater than an arc length of the second side edge 42.
  • the curved extension of the side edges 40, 42 establishes the C-like shape described above.
  • a linear length of the first side edge 40 (i.e., linear length between the intersection points 48a, 48b) is greater than a linear length of second side edge 42 (i.e., linear length between the intersection points 49a, 49b).
  • the linear lengths of the side edges 40, 42 can assume a variety of dimensions, but in some embodiments, a linear length of the first side edge 40 is optionally on the order of 3.2 - 4.2 inches, alternatively on the order of 3.5 - 4.0 inches.
  • the end edges 44, 46 each extend in a generally linear fashion between the side edges 40, 42, and have an approximately identical length (e.g., within 5%).
  • a length of the end edges 44, 46 can optionally be on the order of 1.15 - 2.05 inches, alternatively, 1.35 - 1.95 inches, for example.
  • one or more of the edges 40-46 can be formed to have characteristics differing from those described above.
  • the intersection points 48a, 48b, 49a, 49b are each formed as a rounded or radiused corner (as opposed to a sharp, 90 degree-type corner). With this optional construction, components being mixed within the internal chamber 18 are less likely to undesirably collect within the intersection points 48a, 48b, 49a, 49b.
  • the C-like shape described above results in the pouch body 12 having a central portion 50, and first and second wing portions 52, 54 extending from opposite sides of the central portion 50.
  • the wing portions 52, 54 are symmetrical relative to the central portion 50 in some embodiments, with the port assembly 14 being arranged within the central portion 50.
  • the wing portions 52, 54 can be deflected relative to the central portion 50, thereby forcing materials contained within the internal chamber 18 along the wing portions 52, 54 toward the central portion 50, and thus toward the port assembly 14.
  • the C-like shape promotes user handling of the pouch 10, with the wing portions 52, 54 effectively providing grasping surfaces or handles.
  • the C-like shape has surprisingly been found to more readily direct materials contained within the internal chamber 18 toward the central portion 50/port assembly 14 upon folding of the wing portions 52, 54 as compared to a more linear geometric arrangement.
  • the edge seal 34 renders the pouch perimeter 36 substantially inelastic. That is to say, while the pouch body 12 can be folded along the pouch perimeter 36 (e.g., into and out of the plane of FIG. 3), the pouch perimeter 36 will not overtly deflect or expand in the presence of an expansion force within the internal chamber 18. Thus, the pouch perimeter 36 maintains the C-like shape following loading of the internal chamber 18 with various components, as well as in the presence of squeezing forces imparted upon the walls 30, 32. In other words, an area of the internal chamber 18 as defined by the pouch perimeter 36 is constant, whereas a distance between the first and second walls 30, 32 is variable.
  • first and second walls 30, 32 are identical in terms of size and shape.
  • first major wall 30 forms an aperture 60 (referenced generally in FIG. 3) about which the port assembly 14 is arranged.
  • the aperture 60 facilitates fluid communication between the port assembly 14 and the internal chamber 18.
  • the port assembly 14 can assume a variety of forms, and generally includes a port body 70 assembled to the first wall 30 of the pouch body 12.
  • the port assembly 14 further includes a fitting 72 (e.g., a plastic valve fitting) sized for assembly to the port body 70 and configured to facilitate sealed connection to a dispensing device (not shown), such as a syringe.
  • the port body 70 is formed of a relatively rigid material (e.g., a thick plastic) as compared to the flexible nature of the walls 30, 32, and defines a central passageway 74. Upon assembly of the port body 70 to the first wall 30, then, the passageway 74 is fluidly aligned with the aperture 60 (FIG. 3) in the first wall 30.
  • the port body 70 includes a rim 80 and a stem 82.
  • the rim 80 provides a surface for assembly of the port body 70 to the first wall 30, whereas the stem 82 establishes a conduit (i.e., the central passageway 74) through which materials can be dispensed into and from the internal chamber 18.
  • the port body 70 is arranged, in some embodiments, so as to extend in a generally perpendicular fashion from the pouch body 12.
  • the stem 82 extends perpendicular to a common, major plane P defined by the pouch body 12/pouch perimeter 36.
  • the port body 70/stem 82 extends in a perpendicular fashion relative to this flat surface, in some embodiments.
  • the port body 70 can be assembled to the first wall 30 in a variety of fashions, such as mounting the rim 80 to the first wall 30 (e.g., welding, adhesive bonding, etc.).
  • the port body 70 can be homogenously formed with the first wall 30, and the rim 80 can be eliminated.
  • the port body 70 can be supported relative to the first wall 30 with additional structures, such as ribs formed in the first wall 30 and/or rim 80.
  • the cap 16 can assume a wide variety of forms commensurate with features of the port assembly 14. More particularly, the cap 16 is configured to be releasably assembled to the port assembly 14, selectively opening and closing the central passageway 74 (FIG. 1). In other embodiments, however, the port assembly 14 can have a self-closing feature (e.g., a self-sealing membrane, check valve, etc.) such that the cap 16 is an optional component in accordance with the present disclosure.
  • a self-closing feature e.g., a self-sealing membrane, check valve, etc.
  • the pouch 10 can be employed in mixing and dispensing a variety of compositions.
  • the pouch 10 is used in conjunction with a method of preparing a composition from two or more components. More particularly, in some embodiments, a first, powder component is mixed with a second, liquid component.
  • the powder component can be a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel product in powder form
  • the liquid component is water, saline, or similar liquid
  • the resulting composition is a bioresorbable material useful, for example, in medical procedures to prevent bleeding, tissue adhesion, etc. (e.g., the resultant composition has hemostatic properties and can be inserted into body cavities and/or orifices of a patient in the form of or applied to a stent).
  • the pouch 10 can be provided to a user "pre-loaded" with the powder component in the internal chamber 18.
  • the powder component is placed into the internal chamber 18 during manufacture of the pouch 10.
  • the pouch 10 is constructed as generally described above, except that the edge seal 34 is only partially formed along the pouch perimeter 36. More particularly, the walls 30, 32 (it being understood that the second wall 32 is hidden in the view of FIG. 4) are formed to define an overhang segment 90. A leading edge 92 of the overhang segments 90 are not sealed to one another, thereby defining an opening 94 into the internal chamber 18. The powder component(s) (not shown) or other component(s) can then be loaded into the internal chamber 18 via the opening 94.
  • the opening 94 is sealed closed, for example via an auxiliary seal 96 (shown in dashed lines in FIG. 4) that forms a contiguous portion of the edge seal 34.
  • the overhang segments 90 can then be removed, resulting in the pouch 10 configuration of FIG. 1.
  • Other methodologies for placing one or more components within the internal chamber 18 are also acceptable, such as dispensing all components through the port assembly 14.
  • FIG. 5 A illustrates the pouch 10 having a first component 100 within the internal chamber 18.
  • the first component 100 can assume a variety of forms, and with the one example embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5A is a powder.
  • the pouch 10 can be placed on a flat surface 102, with the second wall 32 contacting the flat surface 102.
  • the port assembly 18 extends in a generally perpendicular fashion relative to the flat surface 102, and thus is conveniently accessible by a user. Further, the flat surface 102 supports the second wall 32, thus stabilizing the pouch 10.
  • a second component 104 can then be added to the internal chamber 18 as shown in FIG. 5B.
  • the second component 104 is a liquid component that is delivered to the internal chamber 18 via a syringe 106. More particularly, the cap 16 (FIG. 1), where provided, is removed from the port assembly 14, and a dispensing end 108 of the syringe 106 fluidly connected to the central passageway 74.
  • the port body 70 supports the syringe 106/dispensing end 108 such that liquid flow (shown by arrows in FIG. 5B) into the internal chamber 18 occurs in a perpendicular fashion relative to the major plane P of the pouch body 12.
  • the passageway 74 is closed, for example by securing the cap 16 (FIG. 1) to the port assembly 14.
  • a user removes the pouch 10 from the flat surface 102 and performs a manual (i.e., by hand) mixing operation, kneading/mixing the components 100, 104 by repeatedly pressing or squeezing the walls 30, 32 toward one another at various locations. As shown in FIG. 5C, the walls 30, 32 will readily deflect toward one another in response to these hand-applied forces (indicated by arrows "F" in FIG. 5C), such that the components 100, 104 can be quickly and thoroughly mixed.
  • the optional translucent or transparent characteristics of one or both of the walls 30 and/or 32 allows the user to visually confirm that desired mixing is occurring, as well as visual identification of clumping (as can frequently occur when mixing powder and liquid); similarly, the user can "feel" undesirable material clumps while manipulating the pouch body 12 during mixing. Following mixing, a composition 110 results.
  • the composition 110 can then be withdrawn or dispensed from the internal chamber 18 in a variety of fashions, such as to a delivery system configured for applying the composition 110 as desired (e.g., as part of a medical procedure).
  • a syringe 120 can be fluidly connected to the central passageway 74, and thus in fluid communication with the internal chamber 18.
  • the syringe 120 can then be operated to form a vacuum- like condition within the internal chamber 18, thereby drawing the composition 110 into the syringe 120.
  • the pouch body 12 can be manipulated in a manner that directs a vast majority of any remaining amounts of the composition 110 into close proximity with the port assembly 14, and thus the syringe 120.
  • the wing portions 52, 54 can be pressed toward one another, thereby forcing portions of the composition 110 otherwise residing in the internal chamber 18 along the wing portions 52, 54 into the central portion 50, and thus toward the syringe 120.
  • the composition 110 can be dispensed from the internal chamber 18 in a variety of other fashions that can include delivery systems differing from the syringe 120 shown.
  • the pouch of the present disclosure provides a marked improvement over previous designs.
  • the C-like shape of the pouch body is inherently self-supporting, and promotes a more rapid, uniform mixing of contained components, as well as handling thereof by the hands of an adult human.
  • the port assembly arrangement promotes convenient introduction and removal of materials to and from the pouch body.
